Exiting the pregame lobby.

I know people are going to instinctively say "you shouldn't leave the lobby" but you know what, this is literally the only protection that a solo que player has against being stuck in a 40 minute long game of suck.

Like I should feel obligated to play with teams of 5x DPS or people who haven't even picked a champion with only 0:05 left on the countdown.

Can we PLEASE get a button to leave the lobby without closing the client and re-logging in? I'm also in favor of adding a "ready" button for each player (or an implied ready once you finish selecting a champion) instead of an arbitrary countdown.

I agree we shouldn't have to be forced with people who can't pick to make a balanced team. However I am thankful we don't actually get leaves for this. I have to close out of about 1/8 of my total solo que games because either I no longer feel like playing or my teams choices which won't change scare me. That along with AFKers in queuing cause me to close that little X a lot.

"hey there, how about changing heimer to, maybe a tank or carry?"
"i will play heimer."
"but it would be.."
"heimer is a good hero"
"ok fine, then maybe you there, might want to change that spell with tele instead and
we could use.."
"i never played morgana, i think shes cool!"
"ok FINE, what you gonna pick x guy?, x guy?"
"no response"

so yeah, i admit i did it a couple times, but just on exxxxxtreeeeeme situations.

We shouldn't force people to play in a game together. i think the 3 minutes you lose getting back in queue is definitely less costly than getting a lose and 25 wasted minutes playing with veigars who get revive, for example.
